You keep dreaming about arriving to that baby pink exterior of the warehouse. The glass double doors allow you to see into that sweet-filled future ahead of you.
The doors are opened and you are escorted into what feels like a sugar-filled fantasy. The warmth of the colors, and the smell of childhood rushes through your body as you step into the first heavenly room and are handed a piece of chocolate to satisfy that sweet tooth.
Suddenly, you wake up and realize that tickets to this dream are sold out.

The MU S E U M O F I C E C R E A M - L O S A N G E L E S
The Museum of Ice Cream has been one of the biggest talks of Los Angeles since it opened this past April. This pop up museum was created by the young mind of 25 year old Maryellis Bunn. The once head of forecasting and innovation for Time Inc. made the decision that there was more to life- and that's ice cream. This crazy, extravagant, yet absolutely amazing idea stemmed from her love for ice cream and recognizing the market that this idea had. Bunn's inspiration behind all the bright colors inside this creative and innovative pop up came from her childhood home in Laguna Beach, California.

Creating a space four times larger than the first pop up in New York, Bunn partnered with International Flavors & Fragrances engineers so they could come up with scents that would trigger childhood memories of sweet, sweet ice cream.
Located in the Arts District of Los Angeles, this one-stop-sweet-shop has been teaming up with some of the sweetest treats in LA. McConnell's, Salt & Straw, Coolhaus x Cuisinart, and CREAM are all a part of this sweet sensation.
Giving visitors both a sugar rush and a chance to view some amazing artwork, getting your hands on a pair of tickets is worth it. Not to mention they're only $29.

THE POPSICLE JUNGLE by B A K E R'S S O N
Keith Margruder is a California based artist that focuses on Illustration. When young, Keith was able to connect to food while he would help his mom and grandmother bake.This made him realize that baking has much more of a meaning than what may appear. "In exploring the origins, costs, and transformational properties of ingredients, Keith's artwork offers an artistic commentary on the socio-political aspects of food and the relationship that people and cultures around the world share with it." http://bakers-son.com/about/

We'd say that ice cream is pretty good inspiration for many different things, including fashion. The Museum of Ice Cream makes for some pretty good Instagram pictures but it also is the perfect inspiration to add a little color to your wardrobe. Many different influencers draw their influence from bright colors, and like @stylesprinter to the right, she is drawing hers from our favorite childhood treat.
Like many other people, sunglass.la loves to be inspired by different things going on around us. We love this pop up museum and the bright colors that come with it. It inspires us to add some color to our wardrobe with color tinted lenses that will help spruce up our summer outfits!
